Only applies to neamtodes?

[edit]

I could be wrong, but this concept seems limited solely to nematodes. Both references only discuss autotoky in regards to nematode reproduction, and a Google Scholar search for Autotoky -Nematode yields zero results. Rather than create the potentially false impression that all forms of parthenogenesis and autogamy in any organism are types of autotoky, (thus possibly perpetuating incorrect usage among sites that mirror Wikipedia) this stub might better be redirected and discussed in Nematode#Reproduction, or else the original definition be clearly defined if in fact it does apply to other organisms. --Animalparty-- (talk) 19:59, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
